It is the policy at the Krasl Art Center that parents/guardians wait outside of the classroom or in the lobby area during youth classes, unless there are special circumstances (behavioral or medical) that have been approved by the Education Manager.
The reason for this policy is safety and classroom experience.
We do offer many public programs including Family Days and Studio Open Houses where parents/guardians and children can work together on art projects. You can learn more about these at http://www.krasl.org/learn/programs.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact emckenna@krasl.org or 269.983.0271. Thank you,
The reason for this policy is safety and classroom experience.
- Safety: all KAC Youth Instructors are trained and vetted. It is crucial that we have consistent standards for all adults working with youth.
- Classroom Experience: students and teachers can be easily distracted by additional people in the classroom

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
